2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 Identification of the Project & Project Proponent M/s Supreme Dyechem Private Limited is engaged in the production of pigments for use in the industry. In view of expanding requirement and to meet customer s demand, the project proponent has proposed to increase the production capacity of pigments at their factory located in SIPCOT Industrial Area, Cuddalore. 2.1.1 Project Due to increase in demand for the pigments in the domestic as well as export market needs, Supreme Dyechem Private Limited proposes to enhance the production capacity of its pigments and pigment related products. This proposal has been submitted for obtaining Environmental Clearance for increasing the production capacity from 10.25 T/Month to 650 T/Month. The proposed activity will take place within the existing factory. 2.1.2 Project Proponent M/s Supreme Dye Chem Private Ltd established in the year 1999. The organization is an ISO 9001:2008 & 14001:2004 certified manufacturers of Phthalocyanine Pigments and Additives. The companies of Supreme Group has been providing technical services in the field of Environment, Health & Safety for the past 2 decades and thus as a group Supreme family stands out as a complete industrial solution provider in various diversified areas under one roof. 2.2 Brief description of nature of the project The unit currently manufactures two products and the proponent has planned to increase the products and their production capacity based on market demand. The proposed change of product in pigment production 2 JANUARY 2017

will fall under Schedule 5 (f) of the EIA Notification 2006. The existing facility is located within a notified industrial area/estate i.e. Cuddalore Industrial Area & treated as Category B project, requires prior Environmental Clearance from the State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA). 2.3 Need of the project and its importance for the country Products intended to expand are suitable for coatings, inks, paints, plastics and textile. Dyestuff sector is one of the core chemical industries in India. It is also the second highest export segment in chemical industry. The Indian dyestuff industry is made up of about 1,000 small scale units and 50 large organized units, who produce around 1,30,000 tones of dyestuff. The major users of dyes in India are textiles, paper, plastics, printing ink and foodstuffs. The textiles sector consumes around 80% of the total production due to high demand for polyester and cotton, globally and also contribute towards the growth rate of dye industry in India. Pigment Blue is a cyclic product of copper and reaction between phthalic anhydride and urea. Alpha Blue and Beta Blue are variations of Phthlocyanine Blues. Alpha Blue is redder in shade and of smaller particle size and is available as crystallizing type and non-crystallizing nonflocculating type. Beta Blue yields bright greenish blue shades with slightly lower tintorial strength. Beta Blue is of a more stable crystal formulation than Alpha Blue and is available as the non-crystallizing type and the noncrystallizing non-flocculating type. 2.3 Demand supply gap The gap between demand and availability of dye & intermediate sources is likely to increase over the years. The growing demand and supply gap would require increasing emphasis to be given to the exploration and production sector. This calls for such projects which can help in bridging the gap. Pigments contribute heavily for the use of color. 3 JANUARY 2017

2.4 Import Raw materials will be procured from indigenous sources. This will help in the economic development of the country to a great extent thus, to decrease the dependency on imports the proposed project can work in a positive manner. 2.5 Export possibility There is always demand for dyes in world market as India is one of the leading exporters. The proposed expansion project will contribute significant role in the above export market too. 2.6 Employment generation The total direct employment potential of the proposed industry is about 250 people. However, there are indirect employment generations due to the project during the transportations, marketing & distribution etc. 4 JANUARY 2017

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of the project The proposed project involves the production of Pigments CPC Blue crude, Alpha and Beta Blue and Blue additives of capacity about 640 TPM. As the project site located within Industrial Estate developed by SIPCOT, the expansion in production will fall under Category B and it requires Environmental Clearance from State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Tamilnadu under Category B in the Schedule 5 (f) of EIA Notification 2006. It is an independent project not interlinked or interdependent project. The proposed project of pigment manufacturing plant is located in SIPCOT Industrial Complex, Cuddalore. The proposed project will utilize existing facility with some modification. 3.2 Location of the project The proposed activity will be carried out within the existing production facility at Plot no. A 6/3, SIPCOT Industrial Complex, Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu. The Environmental setting of the project site is presented in the Table 3.1.The location map of the project area is represented in Figure 3.1.

3.3 Details of alternate site The proposed change of products will take place within the existing facility owned & operated by M/s. Supreme Dyechem Private Ltd. This site has the following advantages: As the factory is currently in operation all infrastructural facilities are already in place. There is no adverse siting factor such as reclassification of land use and pattern, R & R as the facility is located within notified Industrial Area. As well as the efficient functioning of any industry mainly depends on the availability of its basic requirements viz. raw materials, fuel, power, water, manpower etc. The industry is proposed to be established in SIPCOT Industrial Complex, Cuddalore. The choice of the land confers several advantages, which are summarized below. 1. The land use of the site is Industrial 2. The site is well connected by roadways. 3. Water supply facility is available with SIPCOT. 4. Power will be supplied by TNEB Hence, no alternative sites were considered. 3.4 Size or magnitude of the operation M/s Supreme Dyechem Private Ltd is currently manufacturing 10.5 T/month of Alpha Blue and Beta Blue Pigments and has proposed to expand its production capacity to 640 T/month. Details of the products and their production capacity are given in Table 3.2. 10 JANUARY 2017

The dissolved material is dumped into cold water in FRP drowning vessel where the particle pigment is separated. The material is then filtered and washed and transferred to treatment vessel where the wet cake is treated with distilled/ro water. Additives are added according to the desired product quality. ph raised to 9 on addition of caustic and the material is heated to certain temperature and filtered through PP Filter Press. The filter press is washed with plenty of water till ph of filtrate is neutral. The wet cake is dried in spin flash dryer and the material is collected in jumbo bags and dispatched to sale.

3.5.2 Beta Blue Dried Blue Crude is charged to Blender and homogenized for 2 hours. Required quantities of Sulphuric acid is added to the blender and blended for about 2 3 hours and then the powder is removed and milled in swing or ball mill for at least 2 hours. After milling the powder is sent to acid leaching tank (MS/BL). Sulphuric acid is added so as to make concentration equal to 21% by adding fresh water. The contents are heated to required temperature and maintained for 2 hours. The filter is washed and neutral ph and cake is removed. The cake is treated with water and dispersed by agitation. The slurry rotated through Gyrator for 2 hours to break agglomerate formed during the process. Caustic Lye (48%) is added emulsified and heated till the reflux starts and the reflux of solvent is continued for 5 hours and then the solvent is recovered. The solvent is recovered in a separate tank at the end of the recovery inject live steam into the vessel to recover maximum quantity of solvent. Material is Filtered under hot condition and washed to neutral ph. The wet cake is dumped in re-slurry vessel and ph adjusted in between 6.5 to 7.5 by 98% Sulphuric acid. The material is filtered and the ph of wet cake is brought to neutral. Final wash with RO/DM water to the wet cake is given till the conductivity of filtrate is found less than 100micro ohms/cm. The material is dried in SFD and collected in the HDPE/ Jumbo bags. If necessary, the material is blended and packed in PP bags or Jumbo bags depending upon the requirement of the plant. 13 JANUARY 2017
